ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT.
Most of the questions I started with are now answered. Most of the questions that came up as a result of the style choices are also now answered.
My one quibble is that (and it happened in GtN too) sometimes the meme references are jarring. It’s ok to have shoutouts, but they should really be shoutouts that could be said by the characters, and I’m shocked that Tor’s editors let some of these through.
